It's not long to go now before we welcome Hampshire back to our grounds for the Royal London Cup.

Naturally we've had a few queries in regards to the game on the 9th August so hopefully this post helps inform those of you who may also be wondering how things will work here at Newclose.

Please note any queries in regards to tickets, seating, parking etc are best directed at The Ageas Bowl.

🏏All ready at Newclose Cricket Ground to host Hampshire 2nds V Middlesex 2nds.🏏

⛈🌧 Let’s hope we can get some cricket in and the weather will give us a break.⛈🌧

Unfortunately we have just been informed that it will have to be behind closed doors.
A massive shame as a lot of hard work and time has gone into getting the ground ready for everyone to enjoy.
